Aviva Soccer Sisters Golden Camp
14 September 2017; Attendees during the Aviva Soccer Sisters Golden Camp. Forty girls from the Aviva ‘Soccer Sisters’ initiative were given the opportunity of a lifetime, as they took part in a special training session alongside several members of the Republic of Ireland women’s senior team. The girls were selected from over 4,000 budding footballers between the ages of seven and 12 to take part in the special session at the FAI National Training Centre, as part of the 2017 Aviva Soccer Sisters Golden Camp. The Camp saw the girls sit in on a full Irish team training session, before taking to the field with the team ahead of next Tuesday’s FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Northern Ireland. The Aviva Soccer Sisters programme has been running since 2010 and is aimed at engaging young girls in physical exercise and attracting them to the game of football. Over 30,000 girls have taken part in the programme since it first kicked off, including Roma McLaughlin who is part of Colin Bell’s line-up for next week’s qualifier.
